jdrakeh's point may simply be that HoH is simply attempting to manage an impossible task. (Or it may not be, given that point about the PCs "always getting the upper hand," which is something dealt with in some detail in HoH.)
In short, though, I think you may be happier with Darkness & Dread than with HoH. They probably would work quite well in combination, given that (1) HoH is mostly flavor advice for DMs and (2) the variant classes from HoH can be shoehorned easily into Dk&Dr's variant rules.
